This is the Brisbane Broncos thread not the Wests Tigers thread

Perth Tigers has a nice ring to it.

The big 4

Western Tigers not that much difference really.

Good. Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane's unborn daughter.

Idiot thought it was a good idea to pick a fight with Matagi. Didn't work out too well for him.

Matagi and Ma'u running at me though and I'd be running the opposite direction leaving a brown trail behind me.

Agreed. If those 2 so much as arched an eyebrow at me I'd be out of there so fast, even Ben Creagh would accuse me of backing away from a fight.

One of my pet hates. The problem is the players know they will be rewarded with a penalty if they do it and the refs continue to blow the whistle.

I believe it all started with QLD doing it as well.

For mine Kenny Edwards was out of the ruck and it should have been play on.

I'd love to see a player know it's going to happen, jump out of the way of it coming and the other team bounce on the ball and score.

By the rules you don't only have to be out of the ruck, but also be making an attempt to avoid the ball. The rules specifically say it's not accidental interference if you've had the opportunity to remove yourself from the area of play but didn't. That's what Edwards did here. While he was not in between the marker and dummy half, he was making no attempt to move from where he was.

He was out of the ruck wasnt he? By being behind the ruck, behind the dummy half you would think that is a fair enough attempt to avoid the ball. He had removed himself from the area of play. I would like to see it again, I couldnt see it on the highlight I watched.

He wasnt in between milf and a player who is a potential ball receiver was he? Who exactly was milford passing the ball to?

Its a common sense rule, was clear penalty milking. Was absolutely taking the piss.

I've got no problem with the penalty against Edwards. I'd penalise him just for being a massive wanker. The amount of times he gives away shite penalties then follows it up with a stupid knockdown on the fifth is amazing and it almost always leads to a try for the proposition. If he doesn't lead the league in that double play stat and also for cramps in the last three minutes of a game, I'm not here! He is such a liability for his stupidity, I just couldn't have him in my side.

Haha I agree mate, he's a moron but its actually kind of entertaining to watch IMO.
He deserves just about every penalty against him but that one in particular was taking the piss imo

Rumour swirling that Blair has signed with ....

The Warriors.

2 Things about this picture:


1. Fuck you can fit a lot of grubs in 1 picture when you take a photo at Broncos training.
2. Channel 9 sponsor the Broncos [argument]draw is rigged[/argument]

1.8 mil for Blair over 3 seasons is apparently the deal from the Warriors.

Please, please take it. I wouldn't even want Brisbane giving him 1.2 over 3 years.

I'd go looking, but I'm afraid I'd have to look at more golden crutch. No Worries, why the **** is that your avatar?

@dasherhalo keen on an avatar bet this weekend ?

Have to say it's not very helpful for those of us that work in a male dominated open office....

Because you find it's hard to work one handed?

I'd say the trend will continue about good players that go to the Warriors turn into shit, but I'm not sure Blair could actually get much worse.

No.

Because I'd be showing blatant disregard to office WH&S procedures if I was to lift something this heavy, with only one hand.......

I was actually joking so you could don the golden crotch. I'm on the Broncos this weekend, so not sure it will work. But if you want the Roosters we could do it ?
